River’s technical director, Martin Demichelis, will maintain the starting base to play on Sunday against Huracán in Parque Patricios For the tenth date of the Professional League, The good physical recovery of those who played Tuesday at the height of La Paz against The Strongest of Bolivia gives Demichelis the chance to make few changes to the team.
The returns of Milton Helmet and Leandro Gonzalez Pirez and the doubt in the replacement of Nicholas of the Crosswho continues to work differentiated, are the issues that the River Plate coach must resolve. If the team that beat Unión on Friday of last week is taken into account, there would be only one modification with the entrance in the zone of fliers of Augustine Palavecino either Esequiel Boat instead of De la Cruz.
While González Pirez and Casco -who rested and did not play at altitude- return to the starting team instead of Andres Herrera and Emanuel Mammana and Ignacio Fernández will do the same, who entered in the second half in Bolivia.
In this way, a possible starting eleven against Huracán would go with: Armani, Casco, González Píres, Paulo Díaz and Enzo Díaz; Aliendro and Enzo Perez; Nacho Fernández, Palavecino or Barco, Paradela and Beltrán.
De la Cruz returned to do different tasks due to the inflammation of his right knee after the trauma he suffered against Unión. Against the santafesinos he played again after the two-week stoppage that he had due to synovitis. The Uruguayan midfielder will test between this Friday and Saturday to see if he can enter the list of concentrates on Saturday or if he waits until next week to play against Gimnasia La Plata.
The coach’s idea is to analyze the physical state of the team week by week to define the rotations in this series of matches in which they must play against Huracán, Gimnasia, Newell’s, Sporting Cristal and Independiente in two weeks.
The team trained this morning at the River Camp in Ezeiza with regenerative tasks for those who played at the height of La Paz and technical and tactical work with the ball in reduced spaces for the rest of the players. The squad will be concentrated on Saturday afternoon at the Monumental awaiting the game at Parque Patricios.
